The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering provides graduate programs culminating in a Master of Science (MS) in electrical engineering or a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in electrical engineering. The MS curriculum delivers advanced instruction and hands-on experience in analytical problem-solving, balancing broad knowledge with focused expertise. Students undertake a master's thesis with an oral defense, allowing for concentrated investigation into contemporary electrical engineering subjects. The PhD program cultivates independent expertise across major segments of electrical engineering, equipping graduates for professional roles in industry, academia, or research. Doctoral candidates are required to make meaningful, original contributions to their chosen specialization through research. These programs align with faculty research concentrations, offering focused study in fields such as computer engineering, cybersecurity, electromagnetic systems, telecommunications, digital signal processing, control systems, power engineering, sustainable energy technologies, robotic systems, and nano-scale electronics.
